Sweet, Im still gonna plan for the 29th so if anything happens sooner it will just be a wonderful surprise. It would best if they didnt let me know it was ready until the actual day otherwise I know I wont be sleeping well. Just knowing the port arrival date I think will be causing me problems.
I think I need a therapy group for car addictions :P

There isn't a place large enough to hold the therapy group sessions. Too many of us need to attend.

It means that new 997 turbo will be out in a few months, and buying now turbo is on my personal opinion is bad idea, thats all!
Today I sold my SL 55 AMG 2008 modell, and I want to buy a summer car, and only 997 TURBO. I called my dealer in Germany and he told me that there is not point to buy new 997 turbo now, because in couple of months there will be facelifted version with improved engine 500+ hp and a bit more torque and some nice new toys. I booked one for august/september and thats all!!!! Will drive this summer as a Looser on my Cayenne Turbo 2006....

Im really just assuming from spy pics. I know Porsche through experience. Turbos are selling extremelly well. If it aint broke dont fix it. Or in Porsche language dont change it. It is highly unlikely especially with the GT2 coming out that we will see an power upgrade. Spy photos suggest slightly different F & R look but that should be it. I amy be wrong but I doubt it. Expect to see these cars in Septemeber!

Looks like my car will be arriving at the port in Baltimore on Wednesday, the 20th. Im thinking the earliest they will truck it to the dealership will be that friday, and then prep it on Monday or Tuesday.
So should I start hoping for a Wednesday deliver on the 26th, is that reasonable, one week after it arrives at the port?
My dealer is Manhattan Motorcars in NYC

How was your experience so far with Manhattan Motorcars? Were you able to get a discount? I'm on the list there...
